John Floyd, one of the original owners of my 1935 copy of this book, wrote on page 93 at the beginning of part two "This is no good at all." He also wrote "This book is no good" on the last page. I hate to say it but I'm inclined to agree with him. The Man Who Had Everything was so mind bogglingly dull and not much happens. I only kept reading to see if I ended up agreeing with Mr. Floyd.
